Version 5 – the iconic SVG, font, and CSS framework

The internet's most popular icon toolkit has been redesigned and built from
scratch. On top of this, features like icon font ligatures, an SVG framework,
official NPM packages for popular frontend libraries like React, and access to
a new CDN.

The major version "5" is part of an umbrella release. It includes many different types of files and technologies. Therefore
we deviate from normal SemVer in the following ways:

Any release may update the design, look-and-feel, or branding of an existing
icon

We will never intentionally release a patch version update that breaks
backward compatibility

A minor release may include backward-incompatible changes but we will
write clear upgrading instructions in UPGRADING.md

A minor or patch release will never remove icons

Bug fixes will be addressed as patch releases unless they include backward
incompability then they will be minor releases
